Glasgow is the largest city of Scotland, located on the River Clyde in the Scottish Western Lowlands. It grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland. Glasgow is famous for its art, architecture, and culture, with more than 20 museums and many historical places.
These fabulous photos by Scottish photographer Grisly Bob show what Glasgow looked like in 1982.
When we were growing up in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, we were always told how grim life was? Could it look worse than some parts of Glasgow in the 70s and 80s?
Keep this bookmarked for every time someone discusses Glasgow’s decline. Glasgow isn’t perfect these days, but some people don’t realize just how grim it used to be.
Remember Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guiness? For a scene in what’s supposed to be an Eastern German shop, the old Watt Bros on Sauchiehall St was used. At the time, my friend’s wife worked there.
